Huntington Hills is an established golf-course community in north Lakeland, Polk County, ZIP 33810, built around an 18-hole regulation golf course at 2626 Duff Road (Visit Central Florida, updated 2025; Huntington Hills POA site, 2026). The course opened in 1992 and was designed by Ron Garl, a Lakeland native golf architect, on a tract the developer assembled in north Lakeland.
The community was developed by Bud Socia, who according to the property owners association acquired roughly 400 acres and retained Ron Garl for the course, with homes marketed under a Socia Homes easy-living concept (Huntington Hills POA site, 2026). The housing is a mix of two, three, and four bedroom single-family homes, patio homes, and villas, set among rolling terrain and oak trees, so the exact product type, era, and condition vary by home and should be confirmed per listing.
Because this is an established community with more than one product type and more than one association, the money is made or lost on the specific home and lot, not on the address alone. The drivers are the home era and condition, whether the lot carries golf or lake frontage, the HOA or villa-association dues and what they cover, and the separate cost and terms of any golf-club membership, all of which have to be confirmed for the exact home.
The pitch is a golf and lake lifestyle in north Lakeland between Tampa and Orlando, with quick access to Interstate 4. Community sources describe a recreation center, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness facility, and access to a freshwater lake with a dock for boating and fishing. The work is the diligence: confirm the association you fall under, the dues and reserves, the current golf-club status and membership terms, and the condition of the specific home before you buy.
